Doesn't filter ethanol... And ethanol is everywhere. All the gas stations in my area have up to 10% ethanol in the gas. Nothing I can do about it.

I did this....

1.  Put ethanol in a large container, around 75-80 percent full. I used a one gallon glass bottle before as a first experiment.

2. Pour in around 10-15 percent water.

3. Stir or shake.  This process will make ethanol and water mix together because water and ethanol mixes.

4. The water/ethanol mixture will separate and sink at the bottom of the now pure gasoline.

5. Siphon or pump out the pure gasoline up to just a little above the water/ethanol level.
